Every car is different, some cars like it as high as 20. Just keep playing with it untilyou find what your motor likes -------------------- Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others -Me http://www.CaliforniaFords.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=00001689 Posts: 4003 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : BlueLightning302 ¯ Member # 3974 posted                              i ran 15 with the stock iron heads, no pinging. everycar is different though. -------------------- Originally Member #935 2003 Mustang Cobra - Some mods "Well, atleast the slow one's trying!!" - Al Bundy Posts: 207 | From: San Jose | Registered: Jan 2004  |  :
